- Description
- Chaucer's treatment of "sententiae" in ParsT is best understood in terms of the schema provided by Thomas Walleys in his 14th-century "De modo componendi sermones." The Parson adopts many of Walleys' 14 methods of linking "senteniae" to control logically the 160 biblical and patristic quototations and paraphrases used in his sermon, and to oppose the misleading use of "sententiae" by pilgrims like the Wife and Pardoner.
